Has anyone had this happen before a sound freaked them out not because it was assoiciated with anything just the way it sounded made you feel extremely weird?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLGwV5H96eo
Listen to the part at 0:49 when he does a bend and release it freaked me out along time ago that I was paronoid to listen to it again and he is one of my favorite guitar players. I didnt know where is to put this and wanted to know if anyone knows what happened and if this has been figured out was a having a brain malfunction?

1) That post does not belong in this thread.

2) If something makes you feel bad or "weird" and you don't have to listen to it, then just don't listen to it.

3) This whole thread is just tiresome and it would be a blessing if a Moderator would just lock it.

How is it a problem it concerns sound and wanted to know if anyone has expierenced this before and if this thread is a problem why doesnt somone just delete it.
I agree that it is all over the place so it wouldnt hurt if it was deleted.

No thats not what I was concerning myself with. I am saying does your brain upon hearing a harmonic series without the fundamental still preceive the fundamental?

I thought natural vibrations like musical instruments produced a series of intergers so why would 40hz produce 20hz wouldnt it be 40 then 80 then 120 etc. So if you went backwards wouldnt it be 0hz. Unless you meant harmonics concerning sound equipment but if so I dont know what harmonic means.

Where in nature are you going to get such a harmonic series? And, what does it have to do with subwoofers?

You only process what you hear, if you think your brain CREATES the missing harmonics then you are thinking about it wrong.

Speakers are NOT like musical instruments either, I think you keep trying to contect the too. A speaker playing a 40Hz tone will not have harmonics at 20Hz.

Any kind of string attached at both ends will have these harmoincs. Humans didnt make up these series we discovered these in nature and slowly build upon what was already occuring in nature. I never said it had anything to do with subwoofers.

I didnt say speakers and musical instruments are the same at all. I think they are completely different. i didnt say i think my brain does htat I was asking if that is how it worked cause I have read a lot of sites that say it does. Spyboy was the one who said 40hz will produce 20hz not me I was saying how would it produce that it doesnt make sense.

I was always under the impression that if the frequency isnt there you wont hear it but some sites I have read said otheriwse and I was confused.

Ok, so you have two opinions. Who shows the data behind the opinion? Data is what matters. If there is no data, then create your own test. Get a driver, play a tone and measure the harmonics.

There is no doubt that there are many, many misleading posts and websites out there, the confusion created is pretty high. Just look at the Cable discussions alone.

If you can not find the data and you can not create the data at some point you have to just pick what opinion, what website you will follow. Over time you will either be corrected or you picked the right path.

As a spectator to this thread, I would like to thank the people who have contributed. I was not the intended student, but I have learnt a whole lot none the less. Thank you for taking the time to really spell it out

The Master Index of "The Flawed Physics and Misunderstanding of Low Frequencies"

Seeing as this thread got resurrected, I figured I'd attempt to provide some closure.

This thread was started on February 13, 2011 by an individual going by the user name of "ymalmsteen887". From the start, it was a little bizzare. From there, it turned into probably one of the weirdest, if not THE weirdest threads in the history of AVS due to either a profound level of ignorance, or a rather interesting troll. (The jury is still out)

However, as has been obsserved, there is a wealth of useful information which can be gleaned from the many posts of dedicated AVS members who tried in vain to help this individual. So that their efforts might not be forgotten, I offer to you, dear reader, this master index of the most helpful posts in this thread.

If you want to learn some good fundamentals of how speakers work, why they sound different, and considerations in the attempt to reproduce accurate sound, I recommend that you first hover your mouse over "ymalmsteen887"s name, and select "Block Member" in the drop-down list. He will only confuse you.

If, however, you are a bit more adventurous, then by all means, read what he has to say. But be warned, if a clinical trial were done, it would likely be proven that reading ymalmsteen887's posts will add more than a couple gray hairs to your head. That being said, the sheer oddity of this thread cannot be grasped if you ignore his posts.

Please do not respond to ymalmsteen887. This is an old thread, and he has not been active on this forum for over a year. In fact, I'm pretty sure all of his posts on AVS were in this thread alone. I believe this index will both help new members to find some good foundational information on audio theory, and put a nice little ribbon on this thread.

With that, I humbly recommend this thread be locked away into the annals of AVS history.
